It allows you to use an external antenna on the BC band if there is no ferrite
bar.

Ahh..hmm... I would have thought it would have disconnected an internal
antenna, like a few modified Tecsun models (PL-606, PL-310, PL-390) do. (I say
modified because as shipped the jack only works for FM/SW, but can be rewired
to take a MW/LW antenna.)

As a broadcast journalism major I am scratching my head but think before the
Communication Acts of 1927 and 34 call letters did not have a real rigid rule
but the 1934 act dictated K in the west and W in the east and probably
grandfathered those on the air. Think it also stipulated 3 letter

I hooked up the 45' Vertcal this afternoon that seems to favor the North
as the valley is open to the North. Well, I believe CBXQ is indeed on
the air, but barely audible. Not 100% it is CBXQ, but the CBC seems to
be // to CBU, unless I am getting another LPRT on 540, but probably
CBXQ, but Wow

Last night while listening to Bill Wattenburg on KGO 810 there was a lot of
splatter from some unknown station on 800 kHz. Our local station on 800 KDPQ
was mixing with an unknown station with Pop music. Checking 820 I got an ID
from WBAP Fort Worth, Texas. Their signal was fair and the

I used to get Penticton on 800 when cx were right. Don't know if
they're still on 800 or moved to FM. Most likely a canadian at any rate.

Good going on Penticton. I real pest here at S9+20DB almost nightly.
They are supposed to drop to 500w at night, but I am sure they must run
10KW fulltime. In the Winter Penticton is audiable all day off the NE
EWE too. Yes, they DO splatter!

Pat, I'm surprised that most of the slots occupied by the big Californians were
dead at thatt time. I guess they all went before you started your scan.They
usually hang in longer than the other states here in Vic, especially 1530 in
Sac.Cal. At 20:45 on Sunday Evening in Nanaimo BC my receiver

I have not used the 45' Vertical for a few years as I ran out to coax. I
only have 4 pieces on RG6 running out. Today, I disconnected the NW EWE
which I never use during the Summer and hooked the vertical back up. It
is great for phasing too. A very quiet antenna.
